「聖剣伝説 2」 Secret of Mana (SFC) (01) Fear of the Heavens - Opening

1080p available.

Great music by Hiroki Kikuta. The artwork by Hiroo Isono on the SFC is amazing. It is hard to believe they make such a basic system accomplish so much. Many think the Japanese name literally translates to "Holy Sword Legend 2" but that is a common oversight in translations that people make. "Legend of the Holy Sword 2" is a much more natural title in English. It does not sound awkward. 聖剣伝説 does not sound as awkward in Japanese. But "Holy Sword Legend" does in English. In the end it is preference in semantics, so long as the original idea of conveyed that is all that matters. However a comfortable translation is important for the readers.

Dumped using GDSF7 with SFC. Converted from a pure cartridge dump to SMC with uCON64. Played through ZSNES w/ PS2 controller and captured with CamStudo. Final editing done by Windows Live Movie Maker.

このゲームは、限られたメモリ、限られたハード性能で実現した、­当時の最高峰だった。

１９９３年、スクウェアは、他のソフトハウスを圧倒的に引き離し­ていた。

私も今はオッサンとなりましたが今のスクウェアを見るととても悲­しい。

UPありがとうございました。

@tamchan I wish I knew enough Japanese to fluently respond to this. I can only read it barely... my conversational skills are quite low I have no formal training.

If I understand your post properly, you are saying that Square was beyond what other game designers were doing. I agree they are very special and 「聖剣伝説 2」is very unique and amazing. The way Square has gone with their game design is not good, I agree it is quite different.

I thank you kindly for responding to my video.

@tribesofca LoL dude. You didn't need to remove your comment. You rock. I think you should re-post it so other people watching this vid have a general idea of what tamchan said.
